I use Wiki a lot for keeping short notes/memos about pretty much anything
related to the host repo.
For cosmetic purposes when viewing from a Web browser these notes often contain
<b> ... </b> or other such formatting tags.
However, doing most programming from the command-line, when I want to quickly
look up some notes, I often do (f=fossil):
f wik exp PAGENAME
to get the related note displayed on the console screen.
However, these formatting tags are displayed cluttering the display (for some
heavily formatted pages to the point of being unreadable).
My suggestion is when ‘wiki export’ command is used without the optional file
(which would save wiki page to a file, as is), and the console is the target to
filter out all those formatting tags. A simple example:
The way it is now I would get: f wik exp "pinout"
<b>BDM pinout</b>
* PIN 1 - <b>BKGD</b>
* PIN 2 - <b>GND</b>
* PIN 3 - NC
* PIN 4 - <b>RESET</b>
* PIN 5 - NC
* PIN 6 - <b>VCC</b>
With the filter, a cleaner view:
BDM pinout
* PIN 1 - BKGD
* PIN 2 - GND
* PIN 3 - NC
* PIN 4 - RESET
* PIN 5 - NC
* PIN 6 – VCC
I currently use a Lua script to do this cleaning by piping the output through
it, so I have to use something like:
f wik exp "pinout" | cleanhtml
but it would be nice if FOSSIL could do this filtering on its own given you do
not normally want to see those tags when displaying the wiki page on the
console. However, if there are tags inside a <verbatim> ... </verbatim> they
should remain visible.
What do you think?
Thanks.
